We understand that visiting an exhibition can be a busy day from travelling to the venue, making your way around the stands and trying to cram as much in as possible, not forgetting lunch and the all-important networking with peers. This is why we have created you 10 top tips to help you on your way. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a regular to the show, you may be able to pick something up from below:

Make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes. We don’t want any blisters!

Make sure your bag has lots of room for purchases and freebies!

Bring a drink with you.

Not all of our exhibitors will take card payments, so bring some cash.

There are ATMs within all Childcare Expo venues.

If you have any seminars booked either side of lunch, you may want to bring your own lunch to avoid queuing at peak times.

Book your seminars in advance to save money.

If you print your badge at home, make sure you reprint it after you’ve booked onto a seminar so it is all up to date. You will have to go back to registration to have it reprinted if not.

Bring notepads and pens for the seminars.

Make sure you familiarise yourself with the floor plan in your event guide, so you know where you’re going!
